07/04/13 3:30am I’ve been able to sleep a bit and they have temporarily switched me to heparin shots in tummy through tomorrow only. They’ll decide on lovonox shots again vs. xeralto again for longterm use.

please to not incl me on group txts & please do remove me from any u might see me on. i’m not receiving properly & soooo confusing to get parts out of order, not at all, or random bits/pieces. i can’t read well. etc. please.
2:45pm welllllll……. blood fusion (#4 total) done 2:30pm… i hear you asking what took so long? Let me preface with… I’m ok now but I have also met every nurse, doctor and crash team on call in this hospital 😉 We are all “good friends” now. I am currently, since 10:45ish, OFF ALL PAIN MEDS. This makes me soooooo, happy [NOT!]. Apparently, I was somewhat unresponsive for 12min and woke up to a crash team…. BUT NO CRASH MEASURES were needed… except the narcan which negated instantly, all pain meds. I have my unit of blood now & they will come draw labs soon. Have to wait 4hours from time of narcan to get any pain meds… so in the next 30min hopefully. Yes, there is a LONG story here but suffice to say I’m loving the docs on my case (the ones who appreciated my humor yesterday). They and the nurses I scared half to death treated me with the love and sarcasm I deserve 😀
Gonna rest a bit now. Thanks for thoughts and prayers!
4:00pm based on the events of today, it brought up discussions of blood types and then ashley demanded a kidney… rock-paper-scissors decided: whom gets who’s kidney as the girls all have same type… courtney gets heathers, heather gets ashleys, ashely gets courtneys… william is screwed with AB-
5:30pm able to have some pain meds but they take a while to kick-in but at least my head isnt coming unscrewed (from pain you smartypants! 😉 ) they are taking me OFF the heparin stomach shots & putting me back on the heparin drip after new labs, because i was more stable on that. not sure i get to go home tomorrow after all… playing that day/day-hr/hr now since our eventful afternoon. all the labs have to be redone so i probably wont know until midnight/tomorrow if i’ll need more blood. like i said… changing my name to Bella [it’s a Twighlight series reference]. my memory is sketchy again so if i forgot to detail something, letme know so i can blog it right.
thanking you again for all thoughts & prayers!
9:00pm Thankfully a slow night, for my part. I was in a lot of paid for a while but if I stayed still, it was tolerable. As you can well imagine, I have been skittish of being left alone. Heather relieved Jeff and I have to say, she makes s decent nurse… that may not have been the case if I’d been sick to my stomach like the last stay 😉
